The five papers originally appeared in Japanese in the journal Sugaku and would ordinarily appear in the Society's translation of that journal, but are published separately here to expedite their dissemination. They explore such aspects as representation theory, differential geometry, invariant theory, and complex analysis. No index. Member prices are $47 for institutions and $35 for individual.

This volume contains translations of papers that originally appeared in the Japanese journal Sugaku. The papers range over a variety of topics, including differential equations with free boundary, singular integral operators, operator algebras, and relations between the Brownian motion on a manifold with function theory. The volume is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in analysis and differential equations."
Over the last forty years, David Vogan has left an indelible imprint on the representation theory of reductive groups. His groundbreaking ideas have lead to deep advances in the theory of real and p-adic groups, and have forged lasting connections with other subjects, including number theory, automorphic forms, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics. Representations of Reductive Groups is an outgrowth of the conference of the same name, dedicated to David Vogan on his 60th birthday, which took place at MIT on May 19-23, 2014. This volume highlights the depth and breadth of Vogan's influence over the subjects mentioned above, and point to many exciting new directions that remain to be explored. Notably, the first article by McGovern and Trapa offers an overview of Vogan's body of work, placing his ideas in a historical context. Contributors: Pramod N. Achar, Jeffrey D.

This volume presents modern trends in the area of symmetries and their applications based on contributions to the workshop "Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics" held near Varna (Bulgaria) in June 2019. Traditionally, Lie theory is a tool to build mathematical models for physical systems. Recently, the trend is towards geometrization of the mathematical description of physical systems and objects. A geometric approach to a system yields in general some notion of symmetry, which is very helpful in understanding its structure. Geometrization and symmetries are meant in their widest sense, i.e., representation theory, algebraic geometry, number theory, infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and groups, superalgebras and supergroups, groups and quantum groups, noncommutative geometry, symmetries of linear and nonlinear partial differential operators, special functions, and others. Furthermore, the necessary tools from functional analysis are included. This is a large interdisciplinary and interrelated field. The topics covered in this volume from the workshop represent the most modern trends in the field : Representation Theory, Symmetries in String Theories, Symmetries in Gravity Theories, Supergravity, Conformal Field Theory, Integrable Systems, Polylogarithms, and Supersymmetry. They also include Supersymmetric Calogero-type models, Quantum Groups, Deformations, Quantum Computing and Deep Learning, Entanglement, Applications to Quantum Theory, and Exceptional Quantum Algebra for the standard model of particle physics This book is suitable for a broad audience of mathematicians, mathematical physicists, and theoretical physicists, including researchers and graduate students interested in Lie Theory.
Contains articles on analysis, probability, partial differential operators, frames, and other areas of mathematics. This volume also contains a comprehensive article about the classification of pseudo-regular convex polyhedra. It is suitable for a broad group of graduate students and researchers interested in the topics presented here.
The articles in this collection present new results in partial differential equations, numerical analysis, probability theory, and geometry. The results, ideas, and methods given in the book will be of interest to a broad range of specialists.
This volume is a collection of papers on model theory and its applications. The longest paper, "Model Theory of Unitriangular Groups" by O. V. Belegradek, forms a subtle general theory behind Mal'tsev's famous correspondence between rings and groups. This is the first published paper on the topic. Given the present model-theoretic interest in algebraic groups, Belegradek's work is of particular interest to logicians and algebraists. The rest of the collection consists of papers on various questions of model theory, mainly on stability theory. Contributors are leading Russian researchers in the field.
This volume contains 10 papers with new results on problems in mathematical physics, differential equations, and probability. Included also is an article on the dramatic history of mathematics in Leningrad in the 1930s.
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Representation Theory and Mathematical Physics, in honor of Gregg Zuckerman's 60th birthday, held October 24-27, 2009, at Yale University. Lie groups and their representations play a fundamental role in mathematics, in particular because of connections to geometry, topology, number theory, physics, combinatorics, and many other areas. Representation theory is one of the cornerstones of the Langlands program in number theory, dating to the 1970s. Zuckerman's work on derived functors, the translation principle, and coherent continuation lie at the heart of the modern theory of representations of Lie groups. One of the major unsolved problems in representation theory is that of the unitary dual. The fact that there is, in principle, a finite algorithm for computing the unitary dual relies heavily on Zuckerman's work. In recent years there has been a fruitful interplay between mathematics and physics, in geometric representation theory, string theory, and other areas. New developments on chiral algebras, representation theory of affine Kac-Moody algebras, and the geometric Langlands correspondence are some of the focal points of this volume. Recent developments in the geometric Langlands program point to exciting connections between certain automorphic representations and dual fibrations in geometric mirror symmetry.
This collection presents new results in algebra, functional analysis, and mathematical physics. In particular, evolution and spectral problems related to small motions of viscoelastic fluid are considered. Specific areas covered in the book include functional equations and functional operator equations from the point of view of the $C*$-algebraic approach, the existence of an isomorphism between certain ideals regarded as Galois modules, spectral problems in singularly perturbed domains, scattering theory, the existence of bounded solutions to the equation $\operatorname{div} u = f$ in a plane domain, and a compactification of a locally compact group. Also given is an historic overview of the mathematical seminars held at St. Petersburg State University. The results, ideas, and methods given in the book will be of interest to a broad range of specialists.
